We shared back in October about how we had the opportunity to find potential gaming missionaries through Instagram.
The results were so powerful, that the partnering team who helped us run the ads have now done this two more times (around Easter, and again last month). A total of 1,261 people have responded so far, with each attempt yielding greater results!
Our goal is to find Christian gaming students whom we can mobilize to share their faith. We welcome them into an online community where they can meet each other, learn together, spur each other on, and team up to reach others who play their games both in person and online.
One of my favorite stories so far is of Eduardo.
Going by “FastEddy,” he joined our community just before Easter saying “I’m excited to be a part of this community, make friends, and have a good time while glorifying God.”
At first, he was a little frustrated that there wasn’t more going on, but I challenged him to help make that happen, and he totally did! With his help and others’, there are beautiful discussions and prayers happening every day among people who are often isolated. Here is a recent praise he posted:
“I love seeing everyone coming together with our LORD in mind to play games and have spiritual conversations. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for these wonderful people.”
After attending our evangelism training, he said, “I’ve been slacking on sharing the gospel through my content. These conversations tonight have given me many ideas and have inspired to start giving it my all again. Thank you guys!” Please pray for all those like Eduardo being sent out for Jesus!
